best.concert.ever!

well, it almost tied for best concert ever... the polyphonic spree still has first place. but ok go was pretty damn close.

* confetti guns galore!
* audience participation {we were right in the very front and damian came over to us and let the guy next to me strum his guitar during a song}
* laser guitars {seriously, laser beams shooting out of the ends of their guitars, which were also lined with muppet-type shaggy hair, l.e.d. lights, and scrolling l.e.d. letters}
* lots of interacting with the audience, taking their cameras and taking photos on stage for people, having conversations with us, and damian climbing into the midst of us multiple times.
* did i mention confetti guns? there were LOTS of confetti sprays throughout - so magical {and afterward the teenagers had confetti fights and made confetti angels}.
* enough swearing to warm your heart {sigh...}.
* an accapella performance of "what to do" with handbells.
it was truly one of the most amazing concerts i've ever been to. ok go knows how to put on a great show.

also, the fillmore is an amazing venue - they give away free apples, i've never stood further than a few people from the stage, i've seen up jenny lewis's skirt there, and they have artists create posters for each concert. we've collected some good ones over the years and i can't wait till we have our new home where we can have a concert poster wall.
oh how we'll miss you the fillmore!

  5. Am embarrassed to admit (yet again) that this isn't a band I know or have ever listened to even! Must do something about that, huh?

    Glad you had such a fantastic time!
